I remember thinking he was on the slow side but whenever they asked me he always had the number they asked for. He got tubes around 17 months and he started saying more after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918982 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 10:06:13 +0000 JennyG 1918982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 15 months and has about 7-8 words. The best is he started walking around singing "baby" and everyone started asking if I was pregnant.

This past month has been incredible. Every day she's saying words I had no idea she knew. </p> <p>@lawbee11: Sadie had about the same at 15 months... 15-20? At about 18 months she exploded. At almost 21 months, she's won't shut up. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918556 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 22:22:03 +0000 autumnlove 1918556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 had less than 10 at 15 months.</p> <p>LO 2 had about 15.

The ped seemed to care more about her trying out different sounds than actual words. Surprised at how many words most of your LOs had at that age! Her comprehension is great but speaking is still only maybe 10 words at 16.5 months. But she has walked since 10 months and has amazing balance - can go up and down staircases unaided now! So maybe that is true that they tend to focus on either verbal or mobile skills at one time.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Wow 100 words learned in a month, that must be a fun age!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918483 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 21:11:59 +0000 Greentea 1918483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doc's office said they wanted 3-5 at 15 months.

And so many I'm not even sure if I should count, like she said it for three days then stopped, or whatever. Consistently I guess it's four or five? It really will be fun when they start talking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918464 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 21:01:54 +0000 delight 1918464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's almost 15 months and has 30 words.

He really started imitating us and spitting out new words on a daily basis around 18 months, so I wouldn't worry too much until then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918366 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 20:04:53 +0000 Ra 1918366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ped won't even talk language until 18 months.

The pedi didn't even ask. But I did bring it up, she said they like 5-10 besides Mama and Dada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918334 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 19:44:39 +0000 Adira 1918334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 15 months, he probably only had about 5 words. Our pediatrician didn't seem concerned at all.</p> <p>His language exploded around 18 months. He had 20-30 words at his 18 month visit (which was at 19 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918332 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 19:43:10 +0000 chopsuey 1918332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at 15 months, DD had at least 35 words. Both English and Korean, but mostly Korean. </p> <p>DS had no more than 12. </p> <p>I don't think my pediatricians asked about words.. They did mention that my kids wouldn't have as many since we were a bilingual family, but DD definitely had more than the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918331 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 19:42:49 +0000 mrsjyw 1918331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds didn't have very many words then. Probably around ten consistently used and recognized? My memory is hazy. Our pedi didn't have us keep word lists but said just make sure his vocab is increasing overall from 12-15-18-24 months.</p> <p>We have his two yr chk coming up and his words have infinitely grown since six months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-words-did-your-lo-have-at-15-months-1#post-1918322 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 19:37:43 +0000 lawbee11 1918322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has her 15-month checkup next week so just curious as to what we should expect. Did your pediatrician say your LO should have a certain number of words by 15 months? If so, what was the number? How many did your LO have?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
